Buffs and nerfs, nerfs and buff. It must be about time for League of Legends to get its latest patch. Well, we are still a week out from it dropping but already we have a firm indicator of what’s to come in the preview of the patch notes from the lead dev at Riot. There is way too much to pop on this page so here are some of the key bits as well as links to everything else you may be interested in.
League of Legends 25.S1.3 Patch notes
If you want to read the full, as yet, unofficially released patch notes, you can check out this Reddit link. But below you will find some tasty titbits.
Atakhan
- This patch, we’re increasing Voracious Atakhan’s stasis duration after being killed to 15s, in addition to increasing the reward for claiming the GA false life to 200g per player (from last patch)
- The tempo gained from Voracious buff is too much on current tuning and we’ll continue to pull these levers
- We intend for Atakhan to still give an advantage to the team who claimed him (it is an Epic objective after all)
Domination Keystones & Assassins
- This patch brings a hefty buff to the Domination keystones, which will systemically buff most assassin users which are struggling as a result of Eyeball Collector being removed
- We undershot a bit on Evelynn and Kayn specifically, so a bit of an extra buff in addition to the keystone changes
Void Grubs
- A nerf to grubs as they’ve proven out to be pretty powerful; this will also be a small tap down to incentives to support roam.
Tank Jayce
- Jayce’s tank build has been creeping up over time, so we’re making some changes to bring it back down a bit relative to his fighter and squishier builds
Skarner, Viego, Wukong
- These are 3 of the strongest junglers in Elite and Pro right now
- Skarner in particular has been basically permabanned in Pro
- We’re bringing down some of his CC potential as a result”
